Vikramaditya is just an old woman with new plastic surgery. Underneath it still looks like this. Just scratch the surface.
The sole purpose of this carrier is to protect sea lanes and do some friendly visits. Its role will be much like the Virat patroling gulf of aden and hurmutz. but this will definitely need escort. Sancho if you remember we have already called it a white elephant. The real capability will come from IAC 1
All carriers will need an escorts so that is nothing special and although I don't think it will be much more capable than for sea control and air defence roles (until Brahmos might be added to Mig 29Ks), it will be more capable than INS Viraat because it has way less limitations to the fighters. Higher bring back and take off capability, simultaneous take offs and landings...
With all the delays and cost increasings in this carrier procurement a re-design of the island would be a good move, but who knows what technical problems that would have caused.
I still wait for reliable specs and infos for IAC 1, but i do think that it will be able to carry up to 30 x fighters, not only up to 30 x aircrafts like Vikramditya.

And Russia hasn't built any modern surface warships after the collapse of USSR.
But Russia has lost most of its ability to build the aircraft carrier after Ukraine was gone, unlike China has gained so much experience in these years.
See it took how many years to refit a small second hand carrier?
Except the US supercarriers, Varyag will definitely be the most powerful aircraft carrier, even above Charlest de Gaulle, even that aircraft carrier is nuclear, but its propulsion has a lot of problems.
You are absolutely correct. Other than aircratf carriers, Russia can build everything else. Let me share with you what Chinese military commentators think as to why the overhaul takes so long. In their opinion Russia is making great use of this oppotunity to re-learn how to build them in the future. The whole project helps to build facilities, train designers, engineers, and workers. In other words, Russia goes to school with its tuition paid by India.

Damn ..I really envy Russia ...where did they got such fine and angel costumer.
Well stop the troll and get back to the topic if you don't mind.
The Sevmash right now is ready to build an AC It might be as big os the Kuznetsov.
What?? calling India as fine costumer is a compliment not TROLL....you guys have a great reputation as good costumer as #1 arm importer and be favorite of the arm dealers...too bad that China has nothing beside "copy" craps...and to be your strategical competitors....
Yes we do and I could read the sarcasm in your remark. And You too have one..so be happy.
